Chapter 997 Leading 3 to 0



The third quarter of the game gradually came to an end, but the Supersonics were still more than five points behind the Orlando Magic. It is Kevin Durant who can only play by himself, but cannot mobilize the ability of the entire team.

Stephen is not the case. Although he can't fully display the combat effectiveness of the entire team like a super point guard, he can use his super personal ability to create enough threats, and then drive the team forward together. Stephen's young and mature personality is also very charming among this group of young people. Even Russell Westbrook has been mixing with Stephen more recently, unlike before, blindly following Kevin Durant.

Carlesimo couldn't help looking at Stephen, and Stephen no longer hesitated, and stood up without hesitation. He couldn't let the opponent continue to lead like this, otherwise the opponent would become more and more confident in winning the game. Their three-point feeling broke out again, and this game was difficult to play, so Stephen stepped forward immediately and replaced Kevin Durant, and Carlesimo also replaced Jarrett with Earl Watson Jack.

Seeing Stephen walking to the sidelines, Kevin Durant knew that his efforts during this period had not worked, and the team was impatient. This is normal. If he can lead the team to overtake the score, Then leading all the way, maybe Stephen won't play, but since he couldn't finish it, he had no choice but to let Stephen play.

However, according to the previous rotation rules, Stephen would only replace others when he came on the field, and would not replace himself, but now he replaced himself, probably because he saw that he had played too hard and was too tired. , so let yourself rest for a few minutes. [

This is also normal. Kevin Durant did feel a little tired. With his status, he didn't have to worry about any pressure, so he went back to the court to rest with peace of mind.

Seeing Stephen returned to the court, the Orlando Magic immediately raised their vigilance. This guy is not an ordinary person. If Stephen was just a capable first-class star in the San Antonio Spurs, then after the Seattle Supersonics, He is already a standard top star, especially his scoring ability, which is beyond the reach of the entire league. However, after the finals, except for the occasional small explosion, Stephen generally focuses on organizing the team. host.

But even so, after playing two games, in addition to getting a triple-double, Stephen also scored more than [-] points in each game. This is ability. It is said that the Orlando Magic put too little defensive pressure on Stephen.

But Stephen who doesn't give full play is even more frightening, like a tiger waiting for an opportunity to attack, who dares to relax his vigilance, even if he is in the lead, it is so worrying, Stephen is fine sitting on the sidelines, he Even if his scoring ability is strong, he can't perform well sitting off the court, but once he returns to the court, it will be much more terrifying.

So as soon as Stephen returned to the court, the Magic team panicked a little. Stephen unceremoniously took advantage of this opportunity and completed a steal from Courtney Lee. Although the fast break did not start, it caused Courtney Lee made two free throws for his foul.

This alone reduced the point difference to five points. After returning, under Stephen's defense, Hedo Turkoglu failed to find an opportunity to attack several times, and even passing the ball was worse than facing Kevin Durant. It was a lot more difficult. You must know that Stephen is a bit shorter than him in terms of height, but he kept shaking his arms and blocked his passing path. He can pass to others, but those who can pass the ball The chances are not very good.

The appearance of Stephen not only brought panic to the Otto Magic, but also brought confidence to his teammates. After Hido Turkoglu barely missed a shot, Stephen came back and assisted Earl Watson to make a three-pointer. points, helping the team narrow the point difference to two points again.

The Arcane team was obviously in a hurry, but the more anxious it was, the worse it felt. This opportunity was good, but Rashad Lewis's shot was outrageous. Although Courtney Lee grabbed an offensive rebound, the counterattack was lost by Stephen Blocked, and Stephen shot very quickly, before he could react, he reached out and took the ball out of his hand.

After grabbing the ball, Stephen threw his hands away and threw the ball to Russell Westbrook who had already rushed to the basket. It was a little bigger, and the ball rolled on the basket for a long time before it fell down, earning an assist for Stephen.

The scores of the two sides were equalized at this point, but there were less than 30 seconds left in the third quarter. Basically, both sides had an offensive opportunity. Stan Van Gundy attached great importance to this offensive opportunity and called a timeout. After the timeout, Orlando The Magic played their most accustomed tactics, and then scored by Rashard Lewis from outside the three-point line, and only left the Sonics with less than seven seconds of attack time.

However, the seven-second attack time is quite enough for the Sonics. The ball went back and forth in the hands of the three, and finally returned to Stephen's hands. When Stephen made the ball from outside the three-point line, the first The three quarters just ended.

The two sides entered the rest period with a tie. Although the lead turned into a tie, the Orlando Magic were not dissatisfied. They were very satisfied with the draw. You must know that at this time in the first two games, they had already Twenty points behind, this time it was just a draw, which already gave them a lot of confidence.

The fourth quarter began soon. At this time, the Orlando Magic made a new adjustment and replaced Courtney Lee with Michael Pietrus. After all, Michael Pietrus' defense was better, and Ralph Alston assisted in the defense. That's how the Orlando Magic dealt with Steph, and while it wasn't very effective, it was the best they could do.

Because Hido Turkoglu can't move, they can only find a way on the back line, and there are only two players with defensive ability on the back line, but Michael Pietrus' defensive ability is actually only a few. So what happened, in the Magic team, the tiger monkey is the king of the mountain. Looking at the entire league, even in terms of full-time defensive players, he can't even make the top ten, let alone Sean Battier, Bruce Bowen, Tyan Sharplins is better than these people.

Even with the addition of Ralph Alston, it is still not enough to stop Stephen, but just like the previous game, after the score was equalized, Stephen's own shots were reduced. After the fourth quarter started, the first Assisted Yao Ming to score with a hook, allowing the team to lead the opponent, and then blocked Hedo Turkoglu's shot, joined forces with Russell Westbrook to launch a fast break, and came up with an alley-oop dunk.

After coming back, although Rashad Lewis missed a shot, Dwight Howard made a tip-up and scored, but as soon as he came here, Stephen assisted Earl Watson to make a three-pointer.

Although the Supersonics missed two consecutive attacks, the Magic only succeeded once. Then Stephen personally opened the situation and scored five points in one fell swoop to widen the gap. Dwight Howard had no choice but to foul Yao Ming, but Yao Ming was not as bad as his free throw percentage, hitting all four free throws.

Stephen's personal score at this time has reached 34 points, but he only has eight rebounds and seven assists. There are as many as five steals, but it is a coincidence that within one round, he actually got two offensive rebounds , the number of rebounds took the lead in double figures, and then he assisted Russell Westbrook to score a layup.

At this time, Kevin Durant came on to replace Russell Westbrook. After rest and adjustments, Kevin Durant's touch has been restored, especially when Stephen is on the court, he does not need to bear too much. There are many unnecessary responsibilities, and the shooting rate is very good. After receiving Stephen's pass twice in a row, he shot and scored. He only missed once and made another three-pointer, which also gave Stephen back three assists. [

Since the point difference has not been stretched too much, the Magic has not given up the game. With Stephen's last layup, the Seattle SuperSonics defeated the Orlando Magic 120 to 110 and won the championship. In the third game of the finals, leading the opponent 41-[-] in the series, Stephen once again scored [-] points, [-] rebounds, [-] assists, [-] steals and [-] blocks.
